Effectiveness of Exhaled Breath Condensate Collection Using RTube® and Cooling Sleeve Chilled in Household Freezer
ABSTRACT: Exhaled Breath Condensate (EBC) is easy to collect using the RTube and can be used as a tool in clinical and diagnostic research. Data...
Journal Article Summary – Measuring RNA in Breath Condensate
The RTube has successfully been used to isolate RNA, microRNA and DNA from Exhaled Breath Condensate (EBC). While the collection process of EBC is similar for each of the target isolates, the processes for isolation vary. This Journal Article Summary provides an example of nucleic acid isolation from EBC collected with the RTube based on a study conducted by Dr. Guillermo Barreto of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO Medicine).
